"It's the most I've scored in a season because usually I don't get too many," Skrtel told LFC magazine. "I think I got one in my second full season here, then I got two.

"So I wanted to get three this season. I've got four at the moment and I'm happy with that.

"My strike against Cardiff wasn't the nicest goal but it was special to score in a final at Wembley. My friends were very happy for me, they all congratulated me. I got a lot of text messages and BBMs too."
